“We are delighted to work with NDT Tech Ops to provide their expertise to a number of complex projects, the first of which is already underway with the gas pipeline reinforcement project on Murdoch Drive,” said Neil Jordan, Manager Capital Projects in ATCO’s gas division.

“First and foremost we were looking for a company that has a strong track record in providing the services we need. We are also committed to working collaboratively with Aboriginal organisations and this agreement brings both sides of that equation together for a mutually beneficial outcome,” said Neil.

Director and co-owner of NDT Tech Ops, Renae Hunt, said her and business partner Jordan Davids set-up the company two years ago after seeing an opportunity in the market to leverage the skills they had acquired in the non-destructive testing industry, as well as provide an avenue for Aboriginal employment.

“We are always looking to work with like-minded organisations and ATCO was a great fit for us,” said Renae.

“In establishing the company it was very important to both Jordan and myself to grow our presence within the non-destructive testing industry, but more importantly to create opportunities for our people. Currently 30% of our workforce is Aboriginal and our first entry level trainee is currently half way through his qualifications and on track to complete them by the end of the year, said Renae.”

One of the key benefits of non-destructive testing is that it allows the existing live pipeline to remain in service during the construction phase when the new pipeline is being connected. This helps to ensure the project is delivered in a timely manner and most importantly, disruption to our customers is kept to a minimum.
